Master's thesis: An indepth correlation of Jackson Pollock and Vincent Van Gogh. I examined their personality attributes; chronicled their artistic developments; verified their artistic impact; and compared the circumstance surrounding their eventual demise.

Beginning of 2005, my work became dominated by this experience retaining the recongniable imagery I had used for years. I was hired to teach adults pastel painting through Curtis Arts & Humanities Center. My students were ready to develop their own work and let the pastels speak to them. I'm very proud of the work that emerged in those classes and enjoyed the participants very much. I sold a few pieces for reasonable prices and I looked around for a gallery to call mine.
During 2006 I worked on a piece for Hospice's Mask Project, continued teaching and selling privately. I reconized a desire within myself to write a narrative regarding my artistic-epileptic-visionary-experiences.
For 2007, my show at the Arapahoe County Library at Smoky Hill worked very well. The images received mixed review. I was juried into the Colorado Artists Guild and was requested to hold a "Chair Position" regarding PR, fundraising and general board of directory. I continued my committment to the Mask project and hung my latest work in totality.
I have completed my story regarding the surgery and am fielding it out to publishers. Although it is an unsynced work with the popular religious or science fiction genre, I believe that this is where I am heading next beside large splatter paintings combined with experimental application and mixed-media.
